The Colts have to get Jonathan Taylor going. Putting so much of the offensive burden on Richardson isn't a recipe for consistent success.

With a loss to the Detroit Lions last Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts expunged any remaining margin for error.Sitting at 5-7, the Colts are currently the eighth seed in the AFC playoff picture, two games back of the Denver Broncos for the seventh and final seed.

Looking ahead, Franklin isn’t going anywhere during the offseason since he inked a three-year, $31.3 million extension earlier this year. Speed, however, is in the final season of a two-year, $8 million deal, and his play this season doesn’t make it a no-brainer to bring him back, especially if he’s expecting a raise.
